Senator John Fetterman likens the Democratic posture to "playing chicken" with the food security of 42 million Americans. I happen to think the analogy is wrong. What's actually occurring is the GOP holding those 42 million Americans in a headlock with a knife to their throat insisting Democrats put their one weapon down "or else."

Undeterred, Georgia Democrats are taking the fight to Republican House members in a new ad, and at their public service commission seat-holders in another. Good - Democrats polled recently want to see more "fight" out of their party.

A Georgia state House member - Marcus Wiedower - stepped down, leaving an immediate vacancy in the 121st House district, and Wiedower's last opponent - Eric Gisler - was already campaigning for 2026 so it's "all system's go" for the yet-to-be scheduled special election, too. Eric joined me today to give us a profile on his district, himself and his campaign pitch.

Looming Georgia state park fee increases are - my opinion - worth the cost. Hear me out, please, then go to Cloudland Canyon State Park and I swear you'll feel guilty you aren't paying more.
